Today is the highlight of your Uganda safari. After an early breakfast, transfer to the designated park headquarters for registration and a pre-trek briefing. Uganda Wildlife Authority rangers will explain the trekking procedures, forest rules and guidelines for observing the gorillas. You will then enter Bwindi Impenetrable Forest with experienced guides and trackers. The trek can vary considerably in length depending on the location of your assigned gorilla family, terrain and forest conditions. Uganda Wildlife Authority advises visitors to have a reasonable level of fitness for the experience. Walk through thick vegetation, forest trails and mountainous terrain while your guides search for signs of the gorillas. Then comes the moment you travelled for. Once your group reaches the assigned habituated mountain gorilla family, you will normally have up to one hour to observe them, subject to ranger instructions and conservation regulations. Watch the gorillas feed, rest, groom and interact in their natural forest habitat. After the encounter, trek back to the starting point and return to your lodge. Depending on the duration of your trek and the selected package, the afternoon can be spent relaxing at the lodge or taking part in an optional community or cultural experience. Meal Plan: Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner Accommodation: Budget, Mid-range or Luxury lodge near Bwindi Main Activity: Mountain Gorilla Trekking Optional Activity: Community or cultural experience

After breakfast, check out and begin your return journey to Kampala or Entebbe. Enjoy another opportunity to experience the scenery of southwestern and central Uganda along the way. There will be stops for lunch and comfort breaks during the journey. Depending on your schedule, an optional stop can be made around the Equator area for photographs, refreshments or souvenir shopping. Continue to Kampala or Entebbe, where your driver-guide will drop you at your agreed hotel or other agreed location. Travelers flying out of Uganda should allow sufficient time between the expected arrival in Entebbe and their international flight because road travel times can vary.
